        IT IS HE (God Almighty) WHO HAS
    SENT HIS MESSENGER (Muhammad)
    WITH GUIDANCE
 
       AND THE RELIGION OF TRUTH (Islam)
    THAT HE MAY MAKE IT PREVAIL
    OVER ALL RELIGIONS,
 
       AND ENOUGH IS GOD FOR A WITNESS. Holy Qur'an 48:28  
 
 
    The destiny of Islam is spelt out here in the clearest
    terms. Islam is to master, overcome and supersede every

    prevail over all religions ...
 
        In Arabic the word is Deen¹ (literally meaning "Way
    of Life",), to supersede all, whether it be Hinduism, Bud-
    dhism, Christianism,² Judaism, Communism or any other
    "ism." This is the destiny of Allah's Deen.
 
    The same Qur'anic Verse is repeated in chapter 61 verse 9
    which ends with this slight variation -
 
    (Never mind) Though the unbelievers
    might be averse to it (Islam).
 
    TRIUMPH OF ISLAM
 
    Islam will prevail. It is the promise of God, and His
    Promise is true. But how? With the sword? Not even if we
    had the laser gun! Could we use it? The Holy Qur'an forbids
    us to use force as a means of converting! Yet the verse

    1. Usually translated as Religion, which literally Islam is not.
    2. In the time of Thomas Carlyle this was the team applied to Christianity.
